18 Red Lion Court

18 Red Lion Court is a UK set of barristers' chambers, specialising in criminal law.

The set was established in 1949 by Frederick Lawton (later a Lord Justice of Appeal) at 5 King's Bench Walk before moving to 18 Red Lion Court in 1997.[1] It is now one of the largest sets of criminal barristers in the country with 90 members in London and Chelmsford and is ranked as a leading criminal set by the main law directories, the Legal 500[2] and Chambers and Partners.[3]

Members of chambers have prosecuted and defended in many famous criminal cases with former Head of Chambers Anthony Arlidge QC successfully defending David Moor and prosecuting Jeremy Bamber for murder; Max Hill QC prosecuting in the second Damilola Taylor murder trial;[4] and Simon Spence QC in the Ipswich serial murders.[5]
